Dr. Jander's research focuses on experimental analysis of behavioral mechanisms and reconstruction of behavioral macro-evolution.

My research focuses on experimental analysis of behavioral mechanisms and reconstruction of behavioral macro-evolution. The behavioral mechanisms studied include spatial orientation, visual perception, and learning. Specific topics for macro-evolutionary investigations include spatial orientation, grooming behavior, insect communicatin and pollen collecting in bees. This work emphasizes social insects, and includes a variety of arthropod and non-arthropod taxa.
